Exclusive Malts
New Bottlings!

Distilled at Bunnahabhain Distillery
1988 Aged 22 Years
Whisky from the Bunnahabhain Distillery is often described as the gentler spirit from Islay, although this expression from a first or second fill ex-Sherry butt is not gentle but is not peaty like the distilleries neighbours. Instead expect rich fruit, heavy spice and oak flavours.

Distilled at Caol Ila Distillery
1980 Aged 30 Years
Caol Ila is the lesser known of the peaty-seaweed infused malts from Islay. This does not make it any less spectacular as the others as this 30 year old cask demonstrates – full of sweet oils, fruits aggressive peat and sea-salt. A real mouthful even after 3 decades in oak.

Distilled at Glenburgie Distillery
1995 Aged 15 Years
Glenburgie is not normally found bottled as a single malt being a large component of some famous blends. This cask shows us what we are missing with oodles of fruit and vanilla-creaminess on the nose with an equally pleasing palate and a real vanilla-laden finish.

Distilled at Macduff Distillery
2000 Aged 10 Years
A lesson in young, sherry-casked whisky. This butt from Macduff Distillery in the North-East highlands is nothing short of exceptional bursting with sweet raisins, sherry and fruit. The strong Macduff spirit shines through making this a perfect marriage of ex-Sherry cask and Whisky.

Distilled at Benromach Distillery
1999 Aged 11 Years
Benromach Distillery, situated outside Elgin, is gaining a solid reputation for producing some outstanding expressions. This cask demonstrates why with its full and rich body, slightly peaty with cured meats and smoked cheese. A real palate turner!

Distilled at Laphroaig Distillery
1990 Aged 20 Years
Laphroaig whisky is often billed as one of the strongest flavoured whiskies in the world and from the contents of this 20 year old cask it is difficult to argue! A huge surge of peat and seaside flavours, mixed with a rich oakiness and even a drop of vanilla on the finish.

Exclusive Malts

Single Cask whiskies bottled at Cask Strength and usually wholly aged in one cask. The Exclusive Malts are casks as young as 8 years old and as old as 40 but carefully selected; each year less than 24 casks are chosen for this range. Originally presented in a Saltire (Blue with White stripes) carton, these whiskies are now beautifully adorned with paintings of Birds of Prey. The birds share no connection with Scotch whisky or any preference within the company; we just liked them.
